Boxing legend Mike Tyson has hung up his headphones – but not his gloves. In a surprising move, Tyson has announced the end of his podcast, ‘Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson’, to fully focus on his upcoming fight with social media star Jake Paul. This highly anticipated bout, scheduled for July 20th at the iconic AT&T Stadium, has the boxing world buzzing. However, details about the fight’s format are still being ironed out.

Both Tyson and Paul are advocating for professional rules without any headgear, similar to professional matches sanctioned by boxing commissions. This decision to forego headgear has some fans worried, given Tyson’s age and Paul’s lack of professional experience. However, Tyson engaged in a fan meetup ahead of the enthralling showdown.

Is Mike Tyson listening to TLC?

In the latest clip from ESNEWS, Mike Tyson was seen signing his posters and Tyson Pro boxing gloves. So, in the first half of the video, there were two videos that showcased consecutively ‘Iron’ Mike’s intense training routine. The video instantly got the attention of the fans which is not new for ‘The Baddest Man on the Planet’ as he keeps participating in such events to promote the different ventures that he’s invested in over the years.
